48% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Which brings me back to my wife. She’s a big Hillary fan and has actually met the Senator through her job as director of publishing and new media at the New York Academy of Sciences. I’ve told her she’s probably going to end up as Hillary’s science advisor during the 2008 campaign.

Hmmm.... his wife might get a job with Hillary and he writes a fluff piece about her. No conflict of interest here.

My wife is always giving me a hard time, saying I march in lockstep with other conservatives

Mine too! Although I think she's more of a Libertarian. Oh Well, they always say: "marriage is a compromise".

There doesn’t seem to be any other logical source except the huge quantities of carbon dioxide we throw into the atmosphere—and no one’s denying that, I hope.

No mention of the Sun being at least one other logical source? No discussion of whether the CO2 concentration is a cause, or effect?

She is not taking unorthodox positions simply to “court conservative voters” but because she has matured as a politician and is becoming more responsible in her views.

An assertion made without any supporting evidence. Mr. Tucker appears to be a bit too credulous. Has he forgotten about "trust but verify"?
